Re: [Jmol-developers] povray problem found

Hi,

It seems the exec() method can not find the executable when it is quoted =
on
Mac.
Under Windows it works fine.
Does it happen for both the exec() methods (exec(String) and exec(String[=
])
?

I tried the example and I have the same problem in the rendering. It seem=
s
the example contains several "frames" : for example, using the tools /
atomset function you can see several versions of the molecule displayed f=
rom
two different angles.
It seems the povray writer puts every frame in the .pov file, not just th=
e
one currently displayed.

Nico,

I tried it and I get IOExceptions when I turn on the simple or double
quotes around the executable.

I changed your code to dump the stack after any kind of exception (not
just IO) and no other exceptions were thrown.

But the application never executed.... (even when no exceptions are
thrown).

PS when I render the 4-cyanophenylnitre.... in the gaussian samples in
povray, I get a jmol.pov file that has 455 atoms in it, and when I
(manually) tell PovRay to render it I get two images on top of
eachother (sample enclosed). Any idea what that is happening (I
enclosed the jmol.pov file also, for good measure :-).
